You love him not

"you love him"

you said 

as you bit off a hang nail

"you love him not"

you said 

as your fingernail

filled with blood

"you love him"

you said

as you 

gnawed at your nails

"you love him not" 

you said

as you

gnawed at your nails

(you can't even tell the difference)

falling for you

was like

being 

blindfolded 

and told 

that you're 

going

to the top

of a building

and you 

will have to jump

not knowing 

if something (or someone)

will catch you.

when you jump 

and take off the blindfold,

you realize 

you were standing

on the curb

where I used

to wait

for you

(at least i jumped)

 

or 

you were like

waiting

for an encore

to your favorite band

who never returns

to the stage

 

(my hands are still red from clapping)

I really felt the description here. The wording is raw and real.

Hi, thanks for sharing. Would you explain the first stanza, please? I'm not sure if I get your meaning.
The second is a great image.
